Chapter 109: I have to go back to my old job
Although they have a single ingredient to enhance their flavor, the kitchen supporting measures are still very perfect, which makes Li Qi full of happiness, and he can't remember how long he hasn't cooked in the kitchen!
When he picked up the smallest kitchen knife, he immediately entered the state of a chef, just like a girl playing chess, and everything around him did not exist!
He first washed and blanched the large piece of pork belly, cut it into cubes, set it aside, and then cut some of the ingredients he had prepared in advance into pieces, combined them in different proportions, and put them in six bowls.
Heiyang Jiuzhen couldn't help but look forward to Li Qi's knife technique even more, although Li Qi's knife technique was similar to that of its cook, but this was enough to prove that Li Qi could indeed cook, and he had always been skeptical about it before. Seeing this strange combination of ingredients, I couldn't help but be very surprised, and asked, "How many dishes are you going to make?" ”
"One!"
Li Qi added: "But I'm not familiar with the ingredients here, so I have to try it first." ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen nodded thoughtfully, her eyes were still full of confusion, if you are not familiar with it, you can taste it, why mix these together.
After the combination, Li Qi immediately stir-fried with oil to bring out the fragrance.
At this time, the rest of the cooks also stopped and came to the side to watch, they didn't care at first, but when they saw Li Qi's cooking technique, they were definitely experts!
After a while, all six ingredients were stir-fried.
After tasting them one by one, Li Qi chose one of them, and then took out some fresh ingredients and combined them in that proportion, cut them into segments and slices, and put them in a pot to stir-fry, and this time, he poured pork into them and stir-fried them one piece.
As soon as the meat is cooked, the thick aroma immediately emittes.
Black Sheep Jiuzhen and the other cooks couldn't help but look shocked.
It's a scent they've never smelled before.
Li Qi picked up another bottle of dark red sauce and poured it into it, stir-fried evenly, so that each piece of meat was colored, and poured hot water, just before all the ingredients were submerged, and boiled over high heat, skimming off the foam.
Add the snow-white honey sauce, cover the pot, turn to low heat and simmer.
Everything flowed smoothly, and there was no pause in between.
Li Qi himself felt hearty, one word, cool, turned his head to Heiyang Jiuzhen and said, "Just wait a little longer!" ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen was already dumbfounded, Li Qi's cooking skills were really something he had never seen before, he was slightly stunned, and said happily to Li Qi: "Li Qi, I can't imagine that your human cooking techniques have been so exquisite!" ”
Is this just a warm-up? Li Qi smiled modestly: "Where, where, I don't know if the president will like it or not?" ”
"No, no, no!"
Heiyang Jiuzhen waved his hand again and again, and said, "Whether it's delicious or not, let's talk about it separately, but this set of cooking techniques of yours is really eye-opening for me!" Is this how you humans cook? ”
Li Qi sighed and said, "This is my own creation, and I will do it alone." ”
The other cooks suddenly felt better, but Black Sheep Jiuzhen was a little disappointed, their royal clan would not be too afraid of the second and third races surpassing them, because it was impossible, they hoped that other races could serve them, if the human cooking was so good, please come and help directly!
After chatting for a while, Li Qi opened the lid of the pot, and the aroma was tangy, of course, Li Qi himself did not smell this fragrance, because the ingredients were different, and I saw that the meat inside had been stewed red, and the color was bright and attractive, especially the fat meat, which was really crystal clear, as if it was jelly, this is the effect of that kind of honey sauce.
Reduce the juice on high heat and put it on a plate.
In fact, Li Qi made this dish according to the method of braised pork, but the ingredients have changed, on the one hand, he chose the taste he is more familiar with, and tried to choose the ingredients that the royal family likes to eat, such as the honey sauce, but he also did not expect that the honey sauce could add another layer of light to the colored meat, making the whole dish more beautiful, and it really seemed to exude red light.
"I don't know how it tastes, so I'll try it." Li Qi said modestly.
"The scent alone is enough, enough."
Heiyang Jiuzhen looked at this plate of braised pork and swallowed hard.
Picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece and put it in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and after chewing, he was even more intoxicated, "It's delicious, it's delicious, I've never eaten such sweet and fluffy pork." ”
"I'll try it too."
The cooks on the side also stepped forward one after another, took the chopsticks and tasted them, and they were all full of praise.
"I usually hate eating this pork fat, but this fat is not greasy at all, why is this happening."
"And this meat has a strong honey sauce flavor in it, and the more I eat it, the more I want to eat it."
"It's sweet with a little saltiness, I like it the most!"
......
Li Qi looked at their expressions and said in his heart, it turns out that it's not that your tastes are different, but that your cooking skills are like this, I can't imagine that after playing for a long time, I still have to go back to my old job! said on his lips: "Is it so delicious, you won't be deliberately lying to me, right?" I... I'll give it a try, too. ”
He also picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, and when he bit it, the juice splashed, only to feel that the meat was soft and melted in his mouth, and the fat meat was fat but not greasy, but he knew that this was because the meat quality here was very perfect, and what was even more exquisite was the honey sauce, sweet but not thick, with a hint of saltiness in the middle, the taste was distinct, and there was no need to drink water to relieve greasyness, nodded and said: "It's really good." ”
I thought to myself, if I had studied it more closely, I would have done better!
Black Sheep Jiuzhen laughed, laughed so much that her eyes were gone, and stretched out her hand and said, "Li Qi, please here, please here." ”
The tone changes when you hear it!
A smile flashed in Li Qi's eyes, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "Please." ”
Heiyang Jiuzhen directly invited him to a quiet room upstairs, the furnishings in it were very simple, with a few low tables and straw mats, but it was very quiet.
"You may be seated!"
"Thank you!"
After the two sat down, Heiyang Jiuzhen said straight to the point: "Li Qi, don't go back to that Huaxia Alliance, stay with me as a cook, and I'll help you apply for your residence permit from the peak master." ”
Li Qi was surprised: "Do you need a residence permit to live here?" ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen nodded, and asked again: "When you came, didn't the general explain it to you?" ”
Li Qi shook his head.
Black Sheep Jiuzhen said: "The general race is not allowed to enter the kingdom territory, unless it is a trader, but the trader can only live in the kingdom for a maximum of thirty days, but there is another way, that is, the royal family applies for a residence permit on behalf of the royal family, and it is renewed every hundred days, but this residence permit is for some people with special talents in other races, and then it is to apply for a first-class race, then you can live in the kingdom for a long time." ”
Li Qi was surprised: "It turns out that it is so difficult to come to the kingdom! ”
"Isn't it?" Black Sheep Jiuzhen smiled and said, "I will also give you a reward for one colored shell a day, which is very high." ”
Faint! You want to keep me? I don't want to make you millions of crystal shells, I'll be willing. Li Qi is full of confidence now, he was worried that their tastes were more special, but now he looks like a bird, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm very sorry, I... I can't stay, I have to go back. ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen said excitedly: "Why? ”
It thought that Richie would definitely say yes.
Li Qi said: "Because I am the leader of the Huaxia Alliance, I have to go back." ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen waved his hand and said: "It's just the leader of a human tribe, what's the point of this, if you become the chef of our royal family, not to mention the leader of your human tribe, those second-class races outside won't dare to mess with you." In addition, you may not even have a room in your barren land, so why should I have a kingdom, and what are you going back to do? ”
You can rest assured that it will be soon. Li Qi smiled, "I am really grateful that the president can look up to me so much, although I can't stay and help the president, but if the president believes me, I think we can make a deal." ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen was stunned and said, "What deal?" ”
In its view, apart from Richie's trading value, human beings have no trading value.
Li Qi said: "I once made a very special drink by chance, which is completely different from your juice and milk, and I can guarantee that the royal family will like it very much." "He has a lot of faith now! They all like braised pork so much, not to mention wine, which is simply a must-have in the catering industry, and there is nothing delicious without wine.
Black Sheep Jiuzhen's eyes flickered a few times, and said, "Really? ”
Li Qi nodded and said, "I have absolute confidence in this, because my kind of drink is not only delicious, but also very happy and excited after drinking." ”
Heiyang Jiuzhen's eyes lit up and said, "Have you brought some here?" ”
Li Qi shook his head and said, "No." ”
A flash of disappointment flashed in Black Sheep Jiuzhen's eyes, and said, "Then I have to wait for you to bring it before I can decide whether to trade with you." It's not that I don't believe you, it's that our Niu Hump hasn't opened a transportation line with your Huaxia Alliance yet, and it takes a lot of money to open a transportation line, and if your drinking products can't bring me enough profits, I won't open this transportation line. ”
I'll fuck your sister, we humans haven't bought and sold yet, so you can tell me about profits! But that's fine, then we humans will have a monopoly on your catering business. Li Qi was curious: "I don't know how to deliver it?" ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen said: "Generally, it is transported by black rhino, if it is fast, you can hire a pocket beast to transport it from the air." ”
Dry! They've all opened up airways! Li Qi nodded and said, "Okay, in a hundred days, I will bring that kind of drink to you to taste." ”
Heiyang Jiuzhen said, "You really don't want to stay in the kingdom? ”
Li Qi smiled: "I really want to, but... But I can't leave my people behind. ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "You are really different, okay, then let's talk about it then." Oh, I wonder what you want from us? ”
Li Qi said: "Kitchen knife." ”
"Kitchen knives?"
"It's the kind of black iron that makes kitchen knives, and I'm still using stone as humans."
"Black iron is very easy to say, there is a large white forest to the southwest of the cow hump, and there are more or less."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door outside, "President, the general is here!" ”
"Hurry up, please."
Black Sheep Jiuzhen stood up.
After a while, Niu Zhuzhan walked in and said in surprise, "Why are you sitting here?" ”
Heiyang Jiuzhen smiled: "It turns out that Li Qi is very good at cooking, so I invited him to come to the top to communicate, and the bottom is too noisy." ”
Niu Refusal looked at Li Qi with a pair of bull's eyes wide, "You can also cook?" ”
In this regard, Lao Tzu can really ignore all races. Li Qi nodded shyly.
Heiyang Jiuzhen said again: "If the general has something to do, just go and get busy, Li Qi and I will entertain you!" ”
"That's it!"
Niu refused to fight for a moment, and said, "Then it will be annoying!" "It didn't want to accompany Richie, because Richie was so eye-catching, and after two steps, the beast would come and ask for a word.
"Where! Where! ”
Black Sheep Jiuzhen bowed slightly.
In fact, in the eyes of their royal family, except for the perfect race, the other races are almost the same, the difference is that you can serve them and can not serve them, that kind of race is very good to explain everything, the real intention of the kingdom to make this kind of race, is that the royal family wants to attract all the outstanding talents and beasts of each race to the kingdom, in this way, you will never be able to surpass the kingdom, you are particularly powerful in a certain aspect, and you will immediately become a part of the kingdom.
And the first-class race can never become a royal family, which in turn maintains the status of the royal family.
It's a very, very powerful trick.
Li Qi was speechless about this, talent was crushed, technology was crushed, civilization was crushed, and even power and art were crushed.
But Li Qi was not discouraged, at least he found a breakthrough, and it was what he did best, that is, food, which was the only skill he had found that humans could serve the kingdom.
